I lost my job. I didn't actually lose my job. My job is still there, but somebody else is doing it.... I lost my girlfriend. I didn't actually lose my girlfriend. My girlfriend is still there, but somebody else is doing it.

Fame is like a big eraser. It's strange, now that I'm famous. In my parents' opinion, all the shitty things - all the wreckage of my past - is erased. Now it's like I was never the kid who got arrested. Now I'm a wonderful son.

You can't blame the President for everything that's wrong with this country. That's like blaming Ronald McDonald if you get a bad cheeseburger.

If you ever see me getting beaten by the police, put down the video camera and come help me! Don't chase me around! Don't be going 'whhhoooo I'm gonna sell this to Spike Lee, or Bob Saget.'

Was the subject (sort of) of the independent film Calling Bobcat (2000). In a key part of the film, the two main characters theorize about the sobering effect that drinking olive oil before drinking alcohol can have on the human body. This is a reference to lines spoken by Bobcat Golthwait's character in the film Burglar (1987). After the stunt fails, the two characters spend much of the movie trying to track down the comedian.
